"Somethin' bout Jesus that makes me forget all of those silly little cares of this world oh yeah you bet...." from "Somethin' Bout Jesus" sung by Big Tent Revival
If you ever get a chance to hear this song, it definitely makes ya think how small we are in God's great wonderful plan and thankfully,
"All I ever have to be is what you've made me, any more or less would be a step out of your plan...." from "All I Ever Have to Be" sung by Amy Grant
Happy Weekend!

Exerts from Codex Junius 11: Genesis (Genesis A & B) [Oxford, Bodleian Library, Junius 11, pp. 1-142] Online Medieval and Classical Library Release # 14b
"They knew no sin nor any evil, but in the hearts of both there burned the love of God." -at Creation
"When they do evil, they must win God's love, avert His doom, and gain the favour of their Lord forever!"-Satan speaking as serpent
"So often evil dwelleth with that man who doth not shun it when he hath the power."
"Of the fatal apples some she carried in her hands.....the fruit of the tree of death whereof the Lord of lords, the Prince of glory, had forbidden her to eat, saying His servants need not suffer death."
"From the woman he took both death and hell, although it did not bear these names, but bore the name of fruit... The sleep of death and fiend's seduction; death and hell and exile and damnation--these were the fatal fruit whereon they feasted. And when the apple worked within him and touched his heart, then laughed aloud the evilhearted fiend, capered about, and gave thanks to his lord for both:"
We were discussing this in civ class as it references the medieval futile system. Though some of it, I must admit I question, and granted liberties were taken, credit must be given to the descriptive art of this piece. It certainly causes questions if looked at with an open mind.

NEW
2009! Can you believe it? Thinking about all the things I wanted to write about I sort of got discombobulated and felt like I had nothing to write. Well that certainly is not the case. Like many others who have taken a look at the previous year I'll start there. This was an incredible year full of ups and downs. My brother got engaged, graduated from college, and married his beautiful sweet heart. My mom and dad left Ben Lippen, dad after 20 some years and mom after about 7, as did I-hs graduate of '08 baby! Dad hit real-estate head-on despite the struggles of the economy and mom is finishing up school, just 3 more classes!! I packed up and headed to Jackson MS, of all places, and you guessed-I love it! Belhaven College is quite a blessing for those of you who have never heard of it, it's ok because I hadn't either. Though there were many tears this past year, of both kinds I might add, 2008 was quite a year. Now for the promises that a new year brings. It ceases to amaze me how everything in the world so reflects its Creator. The idea of a fresh start is such a God thing, and for this I am so thankful. Interesting how it is a universal holiday that has the same connotations-fresh starts. Yes I'll make a few resolutions, if you'd like to call them that, like everyone else. I'll struggle and fail like everyone else but God will remain steadfast and that grace will NEVER disappear. Happy New Year!
